High school students get free AACC tuition

Public high school students who also take classes at AACC will no longer pay tuition.

In fact, Anne Arundel County public school students enrolled in the Early College Access Program will receive refunds for the tui- tion they already paid for the fall and summer 2022 terms under a new state law that aims to improve the quality of education in Maryland.

“It’s an opportunity to bring more equity to students who can benefit from post-secondary education,” John Grabowski, AACC’s dean of enrollment services, said.

AACC’s 1,172 dual-enrolled students previously paid tuition at half the regular cost. ECAP students still pay registration, lab and general student fees.

Homeschooled and private school students are eligible for ECAP but do not qualify for the new free tuition.
